Hexapo crystalwings are squat, chunky hatchlings, always looking for their next meal. They tend to want to investigate everything just in case it's edible, which can get painful due to their powerful jaws and sharp teeth. A favourite way for a hatchling to get attention is to headbutt whoever's ignoring them - fine when it's another hexapo, but painful for anything smaller or more delicate. Although they tend to be rambunctious and bratty, hexapo hatchlings can also be quite affectionate, and many magi treasure those brief times when their hexapo hatchling is quiet and snuggly.

Though hexapo crystalwings are too heavy - and their wings too small - to fly, magi shouldn't be fooled by their generally lazy personalities. Given the right motivation, a hexapo crystalwing can easily run down a person. Most hexapo are found in southern areas, in grasslands and jungles where they have easy access to the waters they like to bathe in. When relaxed, they enjoy engaging in playfights, which may look dangerous to the casual observer, but don't usually result in any real injuries. Otherwise they spend most of their time eating and sleeping in the sun.
